Adobe Illustrator CS3 Tip - Align To a Selected Object

 
 

In a previous tip, I discussed Distribution to a Key Object using the Align panel. This ability to select a particular object for positioning of other objects also includes alignment. In other words, if you select various objects on your page, you can choose one of them as the Key Object to which all other objects will Align. To give it a try, draw a number of rectangles across your page and marquee across these objects with the Selection tool (V) to select them. Now click on any of your selected objects to make it the Key Object to which all other objects will Align and press the Vertical Align Bottom button (furthest to the right in the top row). All other objects will Align to the bottom of this Key Object. Just to show it isn't a fluke, go to Edit>Undo and with the objects still selected, click on another object to make it the Key. Press the Vertical Align Bottom button again and all the objects will Align to the bottom of this new Key Object.
